Important Note to Readers: I'm sure you've already noticed already but I've pretty much messed up the magical system in place, and will be trying to fix it in the weeks to come. For those who don't know. Any type of resistance, whether it be fire resistance, elemental resistance or mental resistance. All of it comes down under Magical Resistance. Hopefully when I get some time I will be simplifying it, so you can use it more like Resilience with a reduction in the set amount of damage you receive instead of percentages. I will also be speeding up the release of Scenarios in order to deal with a backlog of projects. Feedback, reviews, and questions would be most welcome.
Having half suspected that Daedalus's soul was here, you stride past the great white washed walls that surround the tower and walk through it's wide open halls, when you're confronted by a huge ogrekan armored in chain mail who nods his head for you to follow him.
With unease filling your bones at being escorted through the tower, you traverse halls adorned with bronze statues, paintings of distant lands, and hundreds of banners, some of which you recognise from your time among the Wingdarts. The dark mages acting much like the Redling Kingdoms of old, conquering lands long since forgotten.
As each takes you in deeper, you can feel Daedalus's rising excitement as you pass through a labyrinth of darkened hallways, and chambers, a part of unable to feel a touch of impatience at the many delays you've faced. The visions of the Bloodstorm wreaking havoc on you mind.
When you at last you reach near the end of your journey, you find yourself in a immense hall, the ceiling hidden in shadow with thick black columns etched in runes disappearing into the gloom. The Magelords seated in ornate stone chairs arrayed in a half circle, the backs of the chairs draped in the colors of their factions, their symbols engraved in the stone behind them.

Wearing robes of deepest midnight, their cowls pulled forward to hide their scarred and withered faces, you feel their eyes upon you, the silence dragging for almost an eternity, when at last the mage sitting in the center begins to speak, his words repeated by the others. "Eattrange hozhee hat.Eattrange hozhee hat.Eattrange hozhee hat.Eattrange hozhee hat."
Feet already moving, you spin around and run towards the nearby columns, Daedalus cries of warning blaring through your mind as you throw yourself forward into safety, huge balls of black fire blazing from behind you, snatching back the ogrekan who screams in agony as he slowly dies.
In the silence that slowly returns, you hear the shuffling of footsteps, and a dry voice call out to you. "You were clever enough to find your way here warrior and survive for this long, but even our most feeblest of mages could sense that there was something wrong with you. You should have turned back when you had the chance warrior, but now I fear you must die. Unless...unless you're willing to betray your mistress and divulge her plans to us. Tell us why she sent you are here, and we may yet spare your life."
Eyes darting back the way you've come, you consider the Magelords offer, after all what real choice did you have. Attack Magelords who've spent their whole lives practicing magic? Flee back through the corridor which remains suspiciously empty despite the dark mages having an army of slaves, battlemages, and Shadow Hunters at their disposal? Risk Sarsonel's wrath by spilling out her secrets. Or you could just lie, and tell them half truths in an effort to keep your skin, though there was a high chance they'd kill you anyway. There was also a side tunnel you could take, but again that could also be a trap. All in all, none of the choices were very appealing.

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
